Hi, I’m an experienced architect and when I was traveling in Jamaica in 2014 I came across a house project that was pretty challenging- it was a very steep hill and they actually benefited from my help- they were stuck. I spent over a year working on the project, it was a very successful experience all around. If there’s a fit, I mean a project that is difficult/complex (locals can figure the regular stuff out) I’m interested in helping.

Hi David, thank you for reaching out! What an awesome story! We’d love to chat further with you – feel free to shoot us an email at “JahWorksExperience at gmail dot com”. Looking forward to connecting with you and thank you so much! ~ Megan Smoot, CoFounder
